After Nadal returned and won this year's Australian Open men's singles title, the Swiss SLR Wawrinka, who was suspended due to injury, congratulated Wawrinka in time to pay tribute to the Spanish god of war. Recently, in an interview with the French "Team Newspaper", Wawrinka praised Nadal again. "Whatever happens, we can't compare Nadal to other players. Throughout his career, he has always come back from injuries large and small, and the suspension is three or four months or even six months long. But at his current age and level, he's doing it again (winning a Grand Slam title), which is incredible. ”
Wawrinka said he admired Nadal and that the Spaniards could do what no one else could. He was not surprised that Nadal won the championship trophy twice in melbourne Park's five-set reversal of Russian Medvedev, because he knew that Nadal's overall strength was stronger than others.
